Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0024937A2] A rectangular-faced clock is provided wherein the passage of time is indicated by the intersection of horizontal and vertical lines (5,6) moving respectively vertically and horizontally across the front of the clock. The movement of one line relative to the other and vice versa respectively represent the passage of hours and minutes. A convenient means of achieving this result is to mark the lines on endless bands (1,3) trained about rollers (2,4) driven by a synchronous electric motor or motors.
